The 2018 Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T,opened at the Beacon Theater a look in to the world of celebrated Emmy® and Grammy® award-winning comedian Gilda Radner who became a cultural icon the moment audiences first laughed with her on Saturday Night Live’s debut episode.

Love, Gilda, presented by CNN Films, is directed and produced by Lisa D’Apolito.

It weaves together audiotapes, rare home movies, diary entries, and interviews with her friends and those inspired by her. Tina Fey introduced the film to a sold out audience and got emotional speaking about Gilda’s legacy and her influence on female comedians. Following the premiere, the Festival opening continued at Tavern on the Green.
